In the Heart of Nature

Imagine your wedding being held in the centre of Nordic nature. Surrounding you and your loved one are bonfires, historical music, and even dancing by a professional group performing the traditional Scandinavian wedding ceremony.

Your viking wedding can be held anywhere outdoors and all-year round, whether you want a rocky, reclusive beach, a mysterious forest, or even a remote Nordic island like Bornholm Island. 

At the Medieval Centre

The Medieval Centre at Falster Island

At the Medieval Centre, also known as the Middelaldercentret, you can travel back 610 years in time to Denmark’s Middle Ages. The Medieval Centre is an experimental open-air museum in Denmark and is welcomingly open to hosting historical weddings from May 1st to September 30th.

The Medieval Centre preserves over 600 years of history and is ideal for Scandinavian or non-traditional weddings.

The Medieval Center recreates the town of Sundkøbing as it was in the year 1409, welcoming you to go back to more than half a century back in time. As an archeological centre, this town is exclusively built from archeological findings, based on written sources and illustrations so that the guests can have an experience that is as authentic as possible. 

​

​Here, you can have your Nordic wedding and then experience the town full of craftsmen and traders and talk to them about their work. During your wedding, you will also have to blend in with the historical theme by following the requirements to wear traditional wedding clothing! 

Nordic historical wedding venues are full life and surprises.

In addition to your historical wedding, you can book extra services to customize your experience, such as a dinner at the popular Medieval Inn, The Golden Swan, where you and your guests can taste Medieval Danish dishes. 

The Viking Open-Air Museum

Home to Denmark’s largest King’s Hall, this remade site was based on an archeological discovery that was found just in 2009, indicating the largest viking habitation in Denmark. The King’s Hall is a remarkable feat with ceilings 10 meters high and an area of 600m2, representative of the peak of Nordic crafts and architecture from the Viking Age.
